Mashable Choice highlights the best of everything we cover, have experienced first-hand and would recommend to others. As much as much as I like Samsung's bigger and pricier S10+ - it's only a couple of complaints shy of perfect - the smaller and cheaper Galaxy S10e, which starts at $750, is a...

Super fast performance; Reliable physical fingerprint reader; Fun ultra-wide secondary camera

Bixby button only partially customizable; Wireless PowerShare feature was slow

The Samsung Galaxy S10e Snapdragon edition is essentially same as the S10e Exynos edition . Just as the name implies, the unit come with Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 Octa-core CPU clocked at 2.84 GHz, along with Adreno 640 GPU, 6/8 GB RAM and 128/256 GB internal storage.

The Samsung Galaxy S10e is an outstanding phone that is the slimmest and most compact offering in their current line-up but retains a similarly brilliant Infinity-O display, a darned good front and rear dual camera setup and the same exceptional performance.

When I started my review of the Samsung Galaxy S10e smartphone, I was expecting something of a watered-down variant of the more premium S10 smartphones, as we've seen in previous Galaxy S ranges, as well as with its competitors. That wasn't the case here.

Great display; Edge-to-Edge screen; Reverse wireless charge; Feature-rich; Better price than S10; S10

Slightly sluggish reverse charge; Low-light photography

On the heels of the Google Pixel 3a and OnePlus 7 Pro launches, it is appropriate to consider whether spending $1,000+ on a smartphone is a justifiable purchase. Before making the leap to a Galaxy S10 Plus at $1,000, you could save $200 and go with a Galaxy S10e .

Gorgeous display with no curved edges; Small; pocketable form factor; Capable dual rear cameras; microSD; 3.5mm headset jack; wireless charging; Wireless PowerShare capability; Responsive side capacitive fingerprint scanner

I have never been a fan of Samsung, but I will say that the S10e is an all around awesome phone. I love the size of this phone it feels very solid in the hand. The UI is very quick compared to some of my previous experiences with Samsung.

Ever since the rumours about the Galaxy S10 started surfacing, leaks about Samsung's iPhone XR killer started surfacing. And, at the Galaxy S10 event, Samsung launched the Galaxy S10e, an ‘essential' version of the flagship handset that came sporting practically all the main features of the S10...

On the whole, the Samsung Galaxy S10e is a powerful, palm-friendly smartphone that's ready to compete head-on with the iPhone XS and the Pixel 3. And in many ways it comes out on top. It would be easy to point at the S10e's feature list and say it's not as exciting as the Galaxy S10 or S10+.

All the power and performance of the bigger models; No curved screen edges is a good thing

Only dual camera versus S10's triple system; Design is a bit toy-ish in some colours

The Samsung Galaxy S10e ("e" as in "Essentials") is the common denominator of the Galaxy S10 line of products and represents the "base feature set" of the Galaxy S10 family. In our opinion, It exists for two purposes: having a compact high-end phone and an affordable 2019 Galaxy S.
